With a breath of fresh air
Blowing beautiful thoughts on my world
The gift of peace.
The gift of happiness.
The beauty of spring
May these be yours
Forever and a day
The magic of spring never ceases to amaze these eyes. May you never get cynical enough to let it pass without giving it a thought.
Always a flower. This is dedicated to #TuesdayOrange #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra! Let it color my world today.
So divine, they are. Some of my loveliest feelings are framed by the blooming of a flower, making my soul feel like it was touched by an angel. Oh, heavenly!
Sometimes hitting the pause button in life gives me just enough time to catch up, breathe a bit and enjoy the beauty that surrounds me, hear the laughter in the background and feel the sun on my face. I can even hear my own heart beating a sound of joy.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again, I am encouraged by you, for the time you take to visit, comment or even upvote. For all of these reasons, I am eternally grateful. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Spring is a such a special time of year! Much like a sunrise. A sign of rebirth and packed full of awesome possibilities. How can anyone miss the fascination?
You always take the most amazing shots, Princess!
Spring really is amazing, isn't it? And yes, I guess you're right it is very much like sunrise, the start of something new, a rebirth, a starting all over again.
Yes. That.
It is hard to miss the fascination but there are people that seemed to let all the small things in life pass them by. They have no idea what they are missing. It's that feather floating in the water or the swans necking in the pond, with their bodies making the shape of a heart. It's that odd flower growing out of the side of a tree. I think spring just brings me closer to Nature and makes me appreciate it even more.
Happy! #TreeTuesday!

Yes you nailed it exactly! Of course you say it so much better than I can. You get it 100 %! Such a special time of year and an awesome gift for all to enjoy! Thanks Sunshine! You rock!
Anything that is so beautiful can only be a gift. Honestly, there is no right way or wrong way to say it. However it comes out, is perfect.

🎁 Hi @thekittygirl! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!I never noticed until today that the cherry blossom has flowers on the trunk as well as the branches as you have shown us above.
Snapped this picking up my grandson from nursery and it too had flowers on the trunk.
Lovely images Denise, flowers make me smile too. Let me see if I have something in the !tip jar.

Oh, how lovely!! Isn't it amazing, this nature thing? I always have to keep my eyes peeled so I don't miss out on one of the little surprises!
Gorgeous tree!!! And thank you !!!!

Quite literally two hours ago I was standing waiting outside the nursery and noticed probably for the first time in my life the blossom on the trunk. Came home and saw your photo of the same thing. Totally amazing.
Isn't nature and instant communication marvelous?
In so many ways!!!! Yes!!!

🎁 Hi @molometer! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Howdy, I've been a delinquent on here as of late. Just wanted to say hello (I shall vote, once my batteries become full once more). I love your school day/spring analogy. Wasn't that a special time of life? So scary and exciting. Your photos are beautiful. I've always been a fan of the budding evergreens. Then again, I've spent 3/4 of my life in the woods, so that might make sense. Thanks for a look at your springtime sproingage of the area in the East. Hope it stays, and this snow business becomes a distant memory. Cheers to a happy Tree Tuesday.
@ddschteinn
You are doing way better than me getting around and commenting. I feel so much like a failure for letting everything get in my way. He actually took me 3 days to finish with Market Friday this week. Seriously. I just don't know where the time goes. If this works so fun I would ditch it in a New York Minute.
I do love spring and I have to admit that the evergreens have a fond place in my heart. It could be spending so much time up in Maine when I was growing up, but even Connecticut had scores of Evergreens on the properties. So me and Evergreens go way back and I do love them. I'm jealous that you got to spend your working hours perusing the forest. I can't imagine what that would have been like to be working right now in a forest instead of indoors. Oh well. There's no such thing as having a redo, otherwise I might consider another occupation. Want to ask me reclining in a chair and somebody peeling grapes and feeding them to me. Do you know where I can get one of those jobs?
Well my dear oh, you are always a Hoot and Holler and I adore chatting with you. I hope you have a great night and give HH a hello for me!
!tip
Hello, see, I'm a delinquent as well (not that you are, it just fits well in this sentence...). Takes me so long to get back sometimes. And I can surely relate to the long post. This last series on the snows of SnOwregon 2019 took me over a week to work on. Then again, it's something like 9-10 posts, with GOBS of photos to peruse first. But that is sometimes the way it goes. Some writings take days of work. Then again, some like the 5 minute freewrite, take only five minutes and editing. A real mix on here. I have a feeling you are like me, and spend a lot of time on your photos. Maybe it's a Tsu thing ( I only just got started on there, before it went gunnybags. Sad.) But I like to make the photos look good. Just a thing with me. And from years of doing photos on film. The old fashioned way. This sure works better and is cheaper.
I DO feel very very very fortunate to have been able to work in the woods over the years. I was very lucky indeed. Then again, if you'd asked me that on a 33 degree day of sleet and rain for 10 yours straight with frozen hands and snow falling off the trees and down your back, then sliding down the hill on your betookus in the mud, I might not have always agreed. But we forget those parts quickly. It was incredible, to spend most of my working life in the woods. Very fortuitous indeed, was I. If that's the right word. If not, I was just lucky. And incredibly blessed.
If I do find one of those grapes-in-the-office-chair jobs, I'll let you know. That sounds like a way to go. But I think the grass is always greener on the other side of the partition, mountain...so we must keep that in mind. Well, keep on smiling and enjoy your day on Friday. I gotta go to bed. What AM I doing on here all night long? Oh, that's right, as DS says, it's a whole lot of fun. Cheerio(s)
Hahahaha! Oh, my goodness! You certainly tickle my funny bone! LOL
I think it must be the TSU thing with the pictures. I never used to care about the pictures so much and now... well, the truth is, I would rather put up no post than one that just fits the space.
And I let this comment go way tooo long. OMG! I am soooo behind!
!tip
Always glad to supply a slight chortle. I'm like you, I don't put anything on here I wouldn't want to be around for a long time. Don't get as much done, but it's just a 'thing' with me.
OK, I'm done now, don't want to make you reply back, as you are overly harried to comment. I can relate, it is SO hard to keep up and have a life and all that jazz. Thanks so much for the tip, and have a vundebar night. Cheers, my friend. Keep on smilin'

When left to its own devices, this will grow into another branch, but, in the meantime, I love that look too! Are your cherry trees in bloom over there yet?
I am going to see if I can capture more shots of them. It has actually been too windy!!! Have a most wonderful night!

I do love the light coloured and soft new bits that pop up on the trees in the spring. We are set to hit 10 Celsius today and the birds are already returning so I hope to see some of those buds soon.

Beautiful!! We have a few pine trees on the back edge of our property and I love the way they smell... and when the pine combs are starting out in the spring is so wonderful.

I think I can smell the freshness from over here
It even freshens my eyes... and my lungs... my whole self

I'm so glad you pasted the whole poem now, I often wondered how appropriate the words are...
Thank you! 🌼
I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if everybody had heard the poem and if they knew exactly what it meant. It's such a moving, to me and it breaks my heart when I see it. But then again it makes me realize how lucky I am, so I post it.
Thank you so much for your always awesome replies and I just love the way you leave your special brand of Love behind. I have missed you of late and I hope to see more of you and I will try to get over there more often. I cannot understand how we all let life get in the way sometimes. LOL

🎁 Hi @leylar! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dswigle!Oh man.. You are coming into Cherry Blossom season in your neck of the woods. Do you know that for how close I live to Washington DC, I have never been there to see them?! Crazy, I know. I need to get my butt in gear and get-er-done! I love trees if you couldn't tell by my many posts displaying my paintings of them :-D
LOVE THEM!! You have some awesome shots here. I am officially excited again. :-}
No way!!!! @bdmillergallery
I cannot believe that you have never been here! Do you know how close you live???? If you come this weekend, the Blossom Kite Festival is on Saturday and you can make it a twofer! I always love the Kite Festival!!! I never miss it! And it is going to be mid to high 70's that day, so the cherry blossoms will really pop a little bit more and I would say that it is just about the most perfect day there is! Come early and park out and take the Metro in. Parking is at a premium or nearly impossible.
I'm glad you are excited!!! That means you will probably come!!
I'll be waving from the monument!!!! ;))
!tip
EDIT: By the way, when they say peak, it means 70% of the Yoshino Cherry blossoms are opened up!
Oh wow! Sounds like so much fun. Kite festival? Sunday it was so windy here that I saw a neighbor flying a kite which put that song it my head... ummmmm how does it go? Oh yea! I got it. (Sorry in advance for getting it stuck in your head too)
The original by the way! Mary Poppins. One of my favorite movies and favorite Broadway musicals.
Unfortunately we will be in Fenwick Island/Ocean City Maryland this weekend visiting with parents and family. So close yet so far. I will wave to you from the beach but it will be hard for you to focus being that you’ll be standing at the monument. It would’ve been quite the site and again I will miss this beautiful display. I will have to plan farther in advance and really stick to my plans to see this before I die. That sounds a little gloomy but I didn’t mean it that way. You enjoy it and please take pictures and post them so I can live vicariously through you.
Hehe! No worries! There is always next year!
By the way, I bought a house over there on the Eastern Shore a few years back. Actually, when the market fell. It is an 1869 Rustic Victorian and I could never afford it here in the DC area!
So, I have gone to the Chincoteague Pony Swim on the island and go to the beach there. It is quieter than Ocean City. Actually Assateague Island. Have you ever gone there?
I bought a pony at the swim! LOL They have it every year in July.
Always Next year is my problem.. lol
1869.. wow! sounds cool!! There are deals to be had if your fluid and timing is good. I don't want a money pit or another thing to take care of. My sister, on the other hand, has bought several properties between Ocean City and the Outer Banks. They like the rental thing and it has seemed to work in their favor.
Sometimes we take a drive over to the island, but stay around the upper end near the campground. Just a nice little drive over. Otherwise we take my parents boat in from the back side for a picnic and to watch the ponies. I stay clear of those biting crazy ponies! hehe. I have seen people get to close and get a nice little bite. Thats cool that you take the big swim and sponsor a pony. Donations go a long way to helping keep them healthy and around for others to enjoy. Kudos to you!
Oh gosh! The last thing I need is a money pit! The fact that I have moved for work means I have had many opportunities to buy property and I have used some of them. I just recently relinquished the one in Texas, but Texas has just exploded Market so that was good. I Had A Summer Place in Michigan up on the Canadian border but the commute just got too much so I sold that a couple years ago. I have had one in Florida for about 15 years maybe a little more come up with it was one of the first places I ever bought and I am getting ready to get rid of it and just keep the one of the DC area the one out in the shore. It's fun to rent them when they're in good shape tell me about when you have to start pouring money into them they can become a pain. So buy them and then divest right before.
I'm no expert, but it's worked for me. It's a beautiful part of the country but I cannot see myself living there full-time. Which is what makes it a nice little weekend place. Lots of little but a nice weekend place. You're fortunate to have parents that own a place. And yes! Simple works for me! Keep those money pits away from me!

🎁 Hi @bdmillergallery! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dswigle!I left my house for the first time in weeks after hunkering down in seclusion to write. I was shocked to see all the dogwoods had bloomed early and flowers were everywhere. It really does cheer up your soul to see spring arrive. Very lovely pictures and so happy. After the wettest winter we've ever had, it's been nice to see colors and blue sky and flowers.
Isn't it amazing, @marxrab???
I am glad you took that time to write and I read some, but, I will have to head back over and see what else you got.
The outside has just exploded in the last week! Flowers on the trees, birds everywhere, and yes!! There are so many more pictures to come! And I can hardly wait to see how you see spring!
You have that artistic bone that makes you do cool things. Well, I hope all is going better in your world and you are looking up at the beauty of the day! You are loved and missed. Truly.
Waves Happy Spring!!
